Daniel, by "RM11" I know you're referring to the US mono promo mix with the piccolo trumpet ending. Perhaps The Beatles listened to the various remixes and settled on the mix without the trumpet ending (RM14 UK mono mix). That was their preference and not indicative of the trumpet ending sounding bad.

Personally, I'm happy that both versions exist for our listening pleasure. Looking at my post on May 31 last year, in retrospect I cannot recall if I might have indeed heard the promo on the radio back in 1967. I purchased the stereo Magical Mystery Tour LP when it was released. The first time I definitively remember hearing the trumpet ending version was when I purchased The Beatles Rarities LP in 1980 thirteen years later.

As far as my own personal preference, I like the piccolo trumpet ending version better. It's a piccolo trumpet dénouement.

I didn't say RM11 wasn't mono. On the bootleg I was referring to, all of the references say it is RM11. I know it is a contradiction that says it is stereo, I understand that. So if I took that mix, and folded it down to mono, is that the genuine mix?

Since Penny Lane was first released on February 17 1967, how come it was already released in America on February 13 1967 as in four days earlier? And another thing. How come the books about the Beatles say something about when the trumpet solo was lacked from the very end of the song?
